Well, it wasnt that easy. I have this Leia too, but she came with a zip cape, but I would mention that the texture is so fine that I thought at first it didnt. In fact, it didnt zip from my fingernail, but did with my fingertip.
I'm happy to compare notes on figures and accessories :D
No, the Taiwan capes are very thin, and one has a horizontal line pattern. This cape is thick but flexible. Like I said, the aging give points for authenticity, and I would also expect if it is a repro, we would find it on a variety of different Leia figures, which is why I ask, what color hair...

I have a no COO Leia with black hair and belt already, so I am only looking for the others. Complete and ungraded, but in good condition, please. I'm flexible about condition, but would like no tears in her cape, mostly complete face paint apps, and minimal stains/discoloration.

Hello, hello. Thought I'd introduce myself by way of helping to update this section with what is becoming my personal obsession. I'm also posting pics detailing cape textures, blasters, and paint. These figures were purchased loose, so I am hoping that I can find some verification that the...
